At least Snow Crash was a fun read. I find a lot of this stuff just tedious - like yeah, wow, aren't you cool, you let your robot burn money and wreck shit and waste time, cool, couldn't you have done something real with your conspicuous amounts of free time?

Like, I'm getting to the point where I'm hoping that a football player shows up to shove these people into a locker where they can think about things without a screen for a couple hours.
